You're splitting hairs in this case, while that's unquestionably true, it's irrelevant if there tariffs are only set on one party.
That's why Trump's tariffs on everything was so ... Uh ... "Interesting". If only one party gets the tariffs, you end up with other parties selling the goods instead, which does cause meaningful damage to the tariffed party
Or the tariffing party just continues buying very nearly the same amount of things at higher prices in many categories because those items don’t have perfectly elastic supply and demand.
Technically true but highly misleading. The amount of good like that are few, less then 30% of the EU -> US trade.
